In Short : In order to power hyperscale data centers, Gentari Renewables and Gamuda Energy are collaborating to build 1.5 GW of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity that is combined with battery energy storage systems (BESS) under Malaysia’s Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS).
Encouraging Strategic Growth in Renewable Energy
With hyperscale data centers—essential infrastructure for artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital services—expected to need more than 5 GW of firm power by 2035, the project tackles the growing demand for dependable electricity. This project is a calculated reaction to that increasing demand for energy.
Impact and Significance of Clean Energy
Malaysia’s energy transformation will be greatly aided by the solar + BESS system, which will provide clean, dispatchable power while lowering carbon emissions and dependency on fossil fuels. It emphasizes how renewables may support digital growth and support national net-zero goals.
